Letter of thanksWelcome to the 12th day of the Gratitude Challenge. A part of me was worried about running out of words to say, especially since I’m sharing some of my gratitude highlights with the general public. I’m grateful that the opposite is true. I’ve got A LOT of stuff to be thankful for!  Words have power to build or destroy. Use them wisely. Today, I thought I’d change the tempo and write a letter to complete strangers.
The World's Shortest BlogToday, I'm going to fast-track to Day 12 of the Gratitude Challenge so we can stay on track with journaling. However, I sincerely value you being here.
Expect a new post before end of day. Thank you for your patience. Previous article... For the Heroes Who Won't Wear Capes - Forever Thankful! Without these people in our lives, the world would be such a hollow place. Today's article was supposed to be posted yesterday, but I couldn't write thanks to a couple of commitments. I could write in advance, and schedule posts, such that there is a new post come rain or sunshine, but that would defeat the purpose since I'm reflecting daily online. However, I still managed to jot a few points in my gratitude notebook.
My Gratitude Overflows! Try leaving a trail of little sparks of gratitude on your daily trips. (Dale Carnegie) Yesterday, I finished off the gratitude post by citing Dale Carnegie: "Try leaving a trail of little sparks of gratitude on your daily trips. You will be surprised how they will set small flames of friendship that will be rose beacons on your next visit."
5 Inspirational Quotes on Gratitude by Dale CarnegieDale Carnegie offered practical yet inspirational advice in many of his writings. He discussed gratitude, honesty, sincerity and appreciation as antidotes to toxic lifestyles. As we appreciate others and the environments we live in, let us remember to exercise gratitude without expecting anything in return. "It is natural for people to forget to be grateful; so if we go around expecting gratitude, we are headed straight for heartaches."(Dale Carnegie)
 Grateful that time has been kind to me. Welcome to the 6th Day of the Gratitude Challenge 2019. Today, I’ve decided to rewind clocks once again and marvel at the beauty of time and how it can make everything better.
 Let the thankfulness overflow! The fact that I'm posting a gratitude journal is something I'm proud of. Had I not embarked on a journey of thankfulness, I would have been ending the day with a 'perfect' list of things I'm not happy about!
Every Petal Tells a Story... Dale Carnegie once wrote:
“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon, instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.” Isn't it true?  Starting a new challenge is usually exciting, staying on track is another thing! Welcome to the second day of the 30-Day Gratitude Challenge.
Day 1 of 30 Days of Gratitude I hope that as you read the short essays focusing solely on tales of gratitude, you too will be encouraged to do the same. After a few reminders, clues, nudges, signs and messages directed towards me in various forms, I’ve decided to shift my focus to thankfulness and embark on a journey of gratitude over the next month.
